General operating funds

Due to the high volume of requests, we will not be able to fund all organizations that fit our giving guidelines and mission. We take our commitment to community very seriously and would like to fulfill all the requests we receive. Unfortunately, we receive many more appeals for support than we are able to satisfy. When an organization is not invited to apply or a request is denied, it is not a reflection of our view of the organization’s value.

TJX reserves the right to make all determinations regarding the organizations and programs that we support.

Only organizations and programs meeting the eligibility criteria will be considered for funding. Both the organization and the program should align to further the mission of The TJX Foundation to provide value to our communities by helping vulnerable families and children access the resources they need to build a better future.

All potential grantee partners are required to submit a preliminary letter of inquiry. We use this letter to determine basic eligibility and fit with our selection criteria.

Step 3:
If a letter of inquiry falls within our priorities and selection criteria, we will follow up with the organization to request a full proposal. Full proposals are accepted by invitation only. Due to the high volume of requests, we will not be able to fund all organizations that fit our giving guidelines and mission.

Please do not contact us by phone or by email to ask about the status of your letter of inquiry. Due to the volume of inquiries, we cannot respond individually to those not selected for further consideration.

Step 4:
Complete your full application.

If you receive an invitation to apply, complete the required information and submit back within 30 days. Grantees will be required to submit additional reporting at the end of the grant cycle. Failure to submit required information will impact future funding.
